By Ruth Edwards.There are many roles and responsibilities that a teacher has, such as, being able to teach the subject clearly and effectively in a variety of different ways to keep the attention of the students.

Another role of a teacher is to be un-biased. As a teacher you will come across students from many different backgrounds and religions.

They have to be aware that everyone is individual. This also falls in with number 2 of the code of professional practice, every member must act in a member which recognises diversity as an asset.
